Ides of May

Lomo and Me

Lomo and Me

An interesting feeling happened to me while I was in Paris. It’s a little hard to describe, but I just wasn’t feeling my camera. I was enjoying being there and the first day or two I had fun shooting. But very quickly, I realized I wasn’t enjoying lugging around a body and three pro lenses [...]


Trocadéro

Trocadéro

As you may or may not know, Lauren and I took a little trip across the pond to Paris and London last month. Going in November, we were expected cold and rain. Instead we were treated with blue skies, sun, and even some warm days. Over the next week or so, I’ll be sharing some [...]


Road Trip 2

Road Trip 2

I can’t imagine traveling anywhere now without a GPS like my trusty Garmin here. We took the long way home from a shoot the other week and traveled through a beautiful part of Eastern Washington. Neither of us had been in that area before and it was well worth the detour. Shooting landscapes in motion [...]


Kicks on Route 97

If you need a pair of shoes, I know a great tree just outside of Madras, OR. Pin it


The Backyard

The Backyard

It’s finally sort of becoming summer around here. Still have cool temps, but at least it’s stopped raining every day. We had something like 14 inches of rain between April & May. Our average is 7 for that same time period. On the bright side, all our plants and garden are very happy this year. [...]

Stables – Truth or Consequences, NM

Stables - Truth or Consequences, NM

Last set of shots in this Truth or Consequnces series on Ides of May. I think I like the cross process experimentation. I could see this look blending into my lifstyle work. Pin it

Rio Grande - Truth or Consequences, NM

Trying to get my 5D Mk II files to look like my iPhone shots. It’s only a little ironic. Pin it


Spaceport America

Spaceport America

Yes, this actually is the Spaceport America from where Richard Branson‘s Virgin Galactic will begin flying people up into space for $200K a pop. This as close as we could get to it, but it’s certainly the weirdest/coolest thing I’ve ever seen in the desert of New Mexico. Can’t wait till it opens. Pin it


2010 Cyclo-Cross Nationals – Bend, OR

2010 Cyclo-Cross Nationals - Bend, OR

It’s snowing in Portland today and that reminded me of the time I went to Bend in December to see the 2010 USA Cyclo-Cross Nationals. Cold, wet, mud, all combined with fierce competition to make this a truly exciting event to watch and shoot. I shot it for fun, but I like how these shots [...]

You Say Tomato

You Say Tomato

I wish these were our tomatoes. Our garden this year didn’t do too well, especially on the tomato front. It was our first summer in our new place and our garden patch was a mystery. Just a rectangular dirt patch in the backyard. We thought it would be a perfect spot for gardening. But, we [...]


Where’s The Beef?

Where's The Beef?

I’m working on updating my food portfolio. I never seem to finish up, because I keep getting hungry. Pin it


Black Eyed Peas

Black Eyed Peas

This black eyed peas disk is only served once a year on New Year’s Day. Screen Door is one of my favorite restaurants in Portland. If you love Southern food and local produce, you must go. Pin it

Camera is set… models in place… light is perfect… Okay… and click! Wait, what the hell is that?! FedEx – The world on time AND in my shot. Pin it

Feeling the Need for Some Zen

Feeling the Need for Some Zen

Chaotic week last week. Things are calm now and I’m getting into a mental state to process 42GB of raw files. Ohmmmmmmmmm…. Pin it


Finish Line (Redo) | OBRA at PIR

Finish Line (Redo) | OBRA at PIR

Doh! This was suppose to post today, not yesterday. Mea culpa. Anyway, I love the very warm tones from the last shots of the day. Nothing better than a late summer sun. Sad to see it go. And so concludes my little photo series of OBRA bike racing at PIR. If you’d like to see [...]

Bank | OBRA at PIR

Here’s Kevin again going for it along the S bank on the west side of the track. That sun flare is real, BTW. Pin it
